WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

Simply Well
As a form of nurturance and rebalancing, and as an aid to healing, massage is hard to beat. It isn't necessary to have formal training. In "Welcome Necessary, Healing Touch-The Gift of Massage" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., offers you numerous suggestions for self-massage and exercises that can be done with a partner.


Keeping Fit
Running and bicycling are complementary exercises that enable you to cross-train for better cardiovascular benefit and lower risk of overuse injuries. While running emphasizes the rear thigh and calf muscles, bicycling emphasizes the front thigh muscles, calf and shin muscles and activates upper body muscles. In "Bicycling at its Best" Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D. covers important considerations for function and comfort, warm up and cool down suggestions, and how to make your ride more interesting and productive.


Tips for a Healthy Summer
Our personal cooling system can fail if we overexert ourselves on hot and humid days. Read "First Aid for Heat Exhaustion & Heat Stroke" for prevention tips, plus how to quickly respond to emergency situations.

In "Facing Our Fears: Navigating the Path to Wholeness" Barry Bittman, M.D. queries "What is our next step? Do we grow stronger and more confident, or do we give in to what we have the potential to overcome? Do we seek and accept the help and guidance we need to positively shape our lives?"

The magical, sacred drum has extraordinary power to touch something deep and powerful within all. The sounds awaken our spirits and speak to our most primal and truest selves.
